Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling - Realtree Xtra Neoprene with Sharkskin Back, Adjustable 48" OAL for Rifles

The Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling in Realtree Xtra camo is a rifle sling built to take the punishment of real hunting—long days in rough country where comfort matters as much as reliability. Its closed-cell neoprene construction with Sharkskin backing combines soft padding with stretch capability to absorb the bounce and jarring that traditional slings transfer straight to your shoulder, effectively reducing the felt weight of your rifle during extended carries. At 48 inches overall length and fully adjustable, it works across a range of rifle builds and shooting styles, from backcountry hunts to range sessions.

What sets the Easy Rider apart is its thoughtful engineering: the Comfort Stretch backing flexes with your movement rather than against it, and the non-slip gripper design keeps the sling from creeping or rotating on your shoulder during steep terrain or quick repositioning. Hunters and shooters who've ditched rigid slings know the difference a quality neoprene carry makes when you're miles from the truck with a heavy rifle in tow. The Realtree Xtra pattern blends into deciduous and mixed terrain without the visual punch of solid colors.

Butler Creek designed the Easy Rider for shooters who won't compromise on comfort or durability. Whether you're glassing ridges, stalking through timber, or working a clay course, this sling absorbs the grind and keeps your focus on the shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sling fit my rifle?

The Easy Rider is adjustable to 48 inches overall length and works with most rifle configurations. If you're concerned about a specific platform, measure your current sling or contact us with your rifle model.

What's the difference between this sling and a basic nylon one?

The neoprene padding and Comfort Stretch backing absorb impact and bounce that rigid slings transfer directly to your shoulder. Over a long hunt, that cushioning makes a measurable difference in fatigue and comfort.

Is the Sharkskin back the same as the neoprene front?

No. The Sharkskin back is a different material designed to grip and stay in place on your shoulder and clothing, while the neoprene side provides the soft, padded comfort and stretch.

Can I add QD swivels to this sling?

This particular version does not come with QD swivels pre-sewn. Butler Creek offers versions with and without QD hardware; verify the exact SKU if swivel attachment is required for your setup.
